BABY FIRE

Black light, haunted rock

Baby Fire is a haunted rock band from Brussels formed around singer/guitarist Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock. It combines the energy of post-punk with feminine sensitivity. The strings are rough, the melodies catchy, the voices enthrall.

No Fear, the band's debut album was released in 2011 on Cheap Satanism Records. Special guests included Eugene S. Robinson (Oxbow) and Dana Schechter (Insect Ark, The Angels of Light…).

Their second album, The Red Robe, was recorded in the UK by former Buzzcocks member Tony Barber and released on Off Records in October 2014. It featured duets with Eve Libertine and Penny Rimbaud from Crass.

Gold, their third album, was produced by Pierre Vervloesem (dEUS, Flat Earth Society…) and released in October 2016 through Off Records. Special guests include Kevin R. Thomson (Enablers) on slide guitar and Alinovsky (ex-The Durutti Column) on keyboards.

Gold is distributed through Broken Silence for the world except Shellshock for the UK & Sonic Rendezvous for Benelux, COD&S for Belgium, Cobraside for the USA, P*dis for Japan, White Knights for Taiwan.

Baby Fire has opened for Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Speedy Ortiz, And Also the Trees, Part Chimp, USA Nails, Lydia Lunch, Mike Watt, Laetitia Sheriff, Zëro, Bardo Pond, King Champion Sounds, etc.. and played shows in the US, France, Germany, Holland and Belgium.

"I love it. It makes me want to spend the entire afternoon playing Baby Fire, Candelilla, Savages and then by as much as possible of the discography of Siouxsie and The Banshees. If only there wasn't so much other work to be heard as well. CD of the week had we such a thing of course."
